Explanatory notes
1 The following apply to the performance of all outcomes of this unit standard: a All work practices must meet recognised codes of practice and documented worksite health and safety and environmental procedures (where these exceed code) for personal, product and worksite health and safety, and must meet the obligations required under current legislation, including the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, the Resource Management Act 1991, and their subsequent amendments. b All work practices must meet documented worksite quality management requirements. This includes the recording (by electronic or non-electronic means) of activities, events, and decisions. c All communications must be made in accordance with worksite procedures for content, recipient, timing and method.
2 Definitions Preventative maintenance refers to the care and servicing of equipment and machinery. This may include periodic checks and inspections, testing, measurements, adjustments, or parts replacement as required in accordance with worksite policies and procedures for the purpose of preventing faults or failures and to maintain production requirements. Worksite policies and procedures refer to documented policies and to documented or other directions provided to staff. These include, but are not limited to, ways of managing health and safety, environmental considerations, quality, and production, and must conform to legislation. Examples include standard operating procedures, company health and safety plans, on-site briefings, and supervisor’s instructions.
